Today's Bible Reading

Our Bible Reading Plan runs from the 1st to the 25th of each month.
The next reading will be on the 1st of next month. Check back then!

This reading plan will make it easy and fun for you to read through the entire Bible this year. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Although the plan begins with January, you can begin at any time during the year.
Each month’s readings are based on 25 days worth of readings, which means you get several free days if you ever fall behind. This makes reaching your goal a lot more possible!
Each day’s readings will include selections from both the Old and New Testament, reinforcing the incredible unity of the Scriptures. Perhaps most important, you will focus daily on the life of Jesus by reading a portion of one of the Gospels every single day of the year.

May God bless you as you open His precious Word each day, and remember to pray for His guidance in your study. It is our desire that you will become increasingly changed into His likeness by beholding the Lord through His Word.

Today's Meditation - Psalms

Read Psalm 91:9-16
In these wonderful verses there are blessings abundant for the believer! However, there is also prophetic impact as it relates to the Messiah. These words were used by Satan to manipulate our Savior (Matthew 4:1-11) to respond to his deception and refocus our Lord’s attention away from His divine mission and purpose. It didn’t work. These words provide great encouragement to our hearts when we are going through difficult times and are filled with fear.

The plague we will not experience – verses 9-10
The protection the angels will provide – verses 11-13
The position we receive for trusting Him – verse 14
The prayer He will answer – verse 15
The peace He will give – verse 16

When we “set our love” upon the Lord and “call” upon Him, we will receive deliverance and answers. God has promised complete satisfaction to those who trust Him.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 15 – “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.”

Today's Prayer

“You, Lord, are my Refuge, in Your presence I desire to dwell, and to trust You in every situation of my life.”
